DS9 Forum Welcome Thread: Hello fellow Niners!

Hi, I'm a huge Niner from way back when it was still broadcast on TV. I can still remember my excitement as a waited each week for new episodes, and watching the promos for next week's episode dreaming of what it could be, and hoping it wasn't another Ferengi episode . I remember my despair as I found that there would be no new episode for the next week. I think I still have some old VHS tapes of the show that I recorded. My favorite characters were always Jadzia and Julian, and my favorite episode would have to be "Ex Post Facto", mostly because it had the Obisidian Order/Tal Shiar team up and Garak torturing Odo.

Hello, I'm DS9 and in case you can't tell by my name I'm a huge DS9 fan, in fact it is my favorite series. I know other Trek fans that HATE DS9 and that just kills me because I think the show is the best overall series.

I will be lurking around these parts from time to time and it is good to be here to chat with other 9ers!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe that this is the correct place to be to give a proper introduction. If I'm wrong, someone please tell me so!

To cut to the chase, I guess you can call me Weyoun Ten for now. Weyoun Elven might be activated soon at this rate. **chuckles* Bad joke, I'm a total Trekki though.

Anyways, I'm here regarding Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. I had a large interest in the series in the 90's when I was younger.

I am a person who loves to write RP as cannons that I can connect with easily and portray online as if you were speaking with the real character from the series. In this case and for the first time for me, its gonna be Weyoun (a friend of mine is making an ST NG RPG that I plan to have the cannon of Weyoun in).

A friend of mine is starting up his own Star Trek: Next Generation based RPG that is still in the works. We plan it to be quite an active site, though, I am not here to advertise.

On his RP site, even though it is NG, I plan to write as Weyoun and portray the Vorta as best of my writing abilities, mainly due to the fact that cross-overs from DS9 and NG have happened before where people like Warf and O'Brian went from the Enterprise to DS9 to continue working in Starfleet. Plus Weyoun makes a pretty good bad guy and given the plot that is in the works, there is going to be a war.

When my friend said the words, "there's going to be a war somehow," I instantly thought of Weyoun being in the RPG along with some other cannons and not having the whole RPG made up of OC's (I know from personal experience that it gets boring when its like that).

Overall though, I am mainly seeking input on the history and behaviors/personality of Weyoun so I might be able to get this personality down for the RPG that is in the works as well as all the aspects of the war that took place in the Gamma Quadrant/Alpha Quadrant during the years DS9 took place.

Yes, yes, I know Weyoun Eight was killed off, and that a Ninth one appeared in a book I have yet to get my paws on, but that does not mean that a Tenth one could have been created somehow by Section 31 after the war had ended, or an old Dominion Supporter got a hold of Weyouns' DNA and managed to make another one so to have a great pawn when a new war broke out.

Okay so this post is damn long. Forgive me but I hate being interrogated and missing any little details!! >_< That has happened too many times on some fourms as I have observed but had no part in.

Recently I got around to finally finishing the new Battlestar Galactica. Having my world rocked by this, I decided to re-visit an old favorite. I have to say, that after re-watching the first three episodes of Deep Space Nine for I believe the first time since they first aired in 93, I am super damn impressed. I remember loving this show when it was on, but with that being said I am still amazed at how well this show has aged. Tis going to be awesome re-watching the whole show whilst returning to Treklit with the Typhon Pact. This break from this corner of Trek is proving to have a very welcome return. ^_^

Watched TNG's pilot eons ago now and loved thats series. When it gets it right it so gets it. However DS9 is my love. Its the only series I've bought all the seasons for on DVD. Watch an episode at least once a week if not more.

Sort of new to these parts, and I have to admit I'm a bit intimidated by the prospect of wading my way into these parts. I have to say that I still think DS9 is the best the franchise had to offer, and it's disappointing that it gets overlooked so much. In my opinion, this series has only gotten better with age, while other shows like TNG have aged very poorly.

Anyway, I didn't see any introduction thread in here, so I hope no one minds that I made my own.

I think that is a bit strong to say TNG aged poorly, DS9 did bring pretty much all ranges of races, ships, weaponary and stories the universe had to offer, but if you think about it, TNG was the baby steps for this new idea to be created, so the Gama quadrent was born into the life of trek fans, and war was brought with it...

I find it is almost the whole meaning of irony how you cn find so many traits in weyoun, the flow of his whole being to be so facinating where the character himself has no concept of artistic talents or love of art and/ or theatre,
i applaud you fr finding so much in this character

Hi.. uh.. I'm Cadet Kalmond, just signed in a few days ago. The SFI wanted me to get onboard DS9 so that I can contact Bajoran intelligence and collect information on troop movements and strategic plans of the Dominion. Who do I contact? (Just so you know... S-31 is really a pain in the ass. These people never give up!!)
